A digital rights organisation disclosed on Monday that spyware developed by an Israeli firm had been deployed against the mobile phone of the Rector of the University of Belgrade, who has for the past two years played a pivotal role in the protest movement against the Serbian populist leader Aleksandar Vučić.

一個數位權利組織週一披露,以色列企業所開發的間諜軟體遭用於攻擊貝爾格萊德大學校長之手機;該校長近兩年來在反對塞爾維亞民粹主義領導人亞歷山大·武契奇的抗議運動中扮演了舉足輕重的角色。

This Balkan country will hold a tense election this weekend, a contest widely seen as a head-on confrontation between the protesting student movement and Vučić, who is seeking to extend the 14-year rule of his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party.

這個巴爾幹國家將於本週末舉行一場氣氛緊繃的選舉,此次選舉被視為抗議學生運動與武契奇之間的正面交鋒,而武契奇正尋求延長其右翼塞爾維亞進步黨長達14年的執政。

In September, digital rights organisations reported that the phones of at least 14 activists and students had been hacked and infected with spyware, including Pegasus, developed by the NSO Group.

九月,數位權利組織通報指出,至少有14名活動人士與學生的手機遭駭客入侵,並被植入間諜軟體,其中包含NSO集團的飛馬(Pegasus)。

In a statement, the Citizen Lab organisation, which conducts forensic analysis of spyware attacks, said it could confirm "with a high degree of confidence" that Vladan Djokic's phone was infected with Pegasus spyware in 2026.

進行間諜軟體攻擊取證分析的公民實驗室(Citizen Lab)組織在一份聲明中表示,它可以「高度自信地」確認弗拉丹·焦基奇(Vladan Djokic)的手機在2026年被飛馬間諜軟體感染。

The organisation stated that it had joined forces with the SHARE Foundation — a digital rights organisation likewise headquartered in Serbia — to complete this analysis jointly.

該組織表示,其已與總部設於塞爾維亞的SHARE基金會——同為一個數位權利組織——攜手合作,共同完成此項分析。

A separate analysis is under way to establish whether the mobile phone of Deputy Prosecutor Rade Bajic was also compromised by hackers.

另一項分析正在進行中,旨在釐清副檢察官拉德·巴伊奇(Rade Bajic)的手機是否亦遭駭客入侵。

Bajic had handled a case concerning suspected corruption in a real-estate project linked to the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, a project that was subsequently cancelled.

巴伊奇曾承辦一樁涉及美國總統唐納德·川普女婿之房地產項目涉嫌腐敗的案件,該項目其後遭到取消。

In August, Bajic received a threat notification from Apple.

巴伊奇於八月接獲蘋果公司發出的威脅通知。

On Instagram, Đokić described the hacking of his phone as "a serious attack on my privacy, my security, and the integrity of the office of principal."

焦基奇於Instagram上將手機遭駭客入侵一事描述為「對我的隱私、安全和校長職位完整性的嚴重攻擊」。

He added that it was "yet another attempt at intimidation aimed at suppressing any critical stance or public action."

他並補充道,此乃「又一次旨在遏止任何批評立場與公開行動的恐嚇企圖」。

The Serbian authorities did not immediately offer any comment; they had previously denied any involvement in such attacks, which were first reported as early as 2024.

塞爾維亞當局並未立即置評;他們此前曾否認涉入此類攻擊,而相關攻擊最早於2024年即已見諸報導。

Pegasus is spyware developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group that can covertly infiltrate smartphones, enabling its operators to read messages, track users' locations, and activate the microphone and camera.

飛馬乃由以色列公司NSO集團所研發之間諜軟體,能暗中滲透智慧型手機,使操作者得以讀取訊息、追蹤用戶位置,並啟動麥克風與攝影機。

The software can be installed via so-called zero-click attacks, requiring absolutely no action on the part of the phone's owner.

該軟體可透過所謂的零點擊攻擊予以安裝,全然無需手機所有者採取任何行動。

The SHARE Foundation stated that, absent effective investigation and accountability mechanisms, and without conveying the message that unlawful surveillance is unacceptable, "digital repression will persist and spread further, reaching every corner of society and every critical voice—a grave risk."

SHARE基金會表示,倘若缺乏有效的調查、問責機制,亦未能傳達非法監控不可接受之訊息,「數位鎮壓將持續並進一步蔓延,波及社會各個角落及每一個批評聲音,此乃嚴重風險。」

On Sunday, the student movement warned that its meetings were being monitored and accused the authorities of plotting to detain several fellow students on the eve of a large rally on Thursday.

學生運動於週日警告稱,其會議正遭到監控,並指控當局謀劃於週四大型集會前夕拘留若干同學。

The police have not yet commented.

警方尚未置評。

During protests in Serbia, dozens of students were detained on suspicion of engaging in anti-state activities.

在塞爾維亞的抗議活動中,數十名學生因涉嫌從事反國家活動而遭拘留。

Vučić has repeatedly asserted, without furnishing any evidence whatsoever, that the student protests were orchestrated by foreign forces with the aim of "destroying" the state.

武契奇在未提供任何證據的情況下屢次聲稱,學生的抗議行動係由境外勢力所策劃,旨在「摧毀」國家。

The protests erupted in November 2024, triggered by the earlier collapse of a railway station canopy that claimed 16 lives.

抗議活動於2024年11月爆發,導火索是此前一座火車站頂棚坍塌、釀成16人罹難的慘劇。

University students are demanding accountability for the tragedy in Novi Sad, alleging that it resulted from negligence facilitated by corruption in the station's renovation project.

大學生們要求就諾維薩德這起悲劇追究責任,他們指稱,這是火車站改造工程中腐敗所助長的疏忽所致。

In his capacity as Rector of the University of Belgrade, Đokić lent his support to the protests and flatly refused the government's ultimatum, which demanded that he put an end to the students' blockade of the capital's faculties.

焦基奇以貝爾格萊德大學校長之尊,聲援抗議活動,並斷然拒絕政府下達的最後通牒——該通牒責令其終結學生對首都各學院的封鎖。

In March, police raided Đokić's office, citing an investigation into the death of a student as their justification.

警方於三月突擊搜查了焦基奇的辦公室,所持理由為調查一名學生的死亡。

Prosecutor Bajić was removed from her post for speaking publicly about an alleged corruption case linked to a government scheme to redevelop a bombed-out military compound into a luxury complex, financed by a company with ties to Jared Kushner.

檢察官巴伊奇因公開談論一樁與政府計劃相關的涉嫌腐敗案而遭撤換;該計劃旨在將一座曾被炸毀的軍事大院改建為豪華綜合體,並由與賈里德·庫什納有關聯的公司出資。

A government minister and several other defendants in the case are currently standing trial in Serbia.

一名政府部長及本案其他數名被起訴者正於塞爾維亞接受審判。

The Israeli firm NSO claims that its technology is sold to government agencies for the purpose of combating serious crime and terrorism; however, investigations documented by journalists and human rights researchers indicate that the technology has been deployed against journalists, activists, and other members of civil society.

以色列NSO聲稱,其技術乃售予政府機構用以打擊嚴重犯罪與恐怖主義;然而,記者和人權研究人員的調查記錄顯示,該技術曾被用於針對記者、活動人士及其他公民社會成員。

In November 2021, the US Department of Commerce added the NSO Group to its trade blacklist on the grounds that foreign governments had used its spyware to target journalists, activists, and government officials; this designation curtailed the company's access to American goods and technology.

美國商務部於2021年11月以外国政府藉其間諜軟體針對記者、活動人士及政府官員為由,將NSO集團列入貿易黑名單;此項指定限制了該公司獲取美國商品與技術的途徑。
